Was down and out for a while

It turns out what I thought was a cold actually was the flu...
Boy oh boy was I sick hence the no blogging...
I wouldn`t wish this on my worst enemy..
I think it`s been at least 10 years since my last bout of the flu...
Kids are just wonderful in sharing...lol'
I`m only just starting to feel normal again, even managing to do a wee bit of housework and didn`t it need doing...
Sadly this week we had another passing of a family member....The past two years we have lost 7 wonderful people....
Lately it feels like our social life is beginning to revolve around funerals....
But as I said to hubby we are getting in that age bracket now where we will lose some close people in our lives....
Getting older sucks sometimes....
We had a birthday party amongst the sickness and sadness which broke the monotony of it all....
It was held at a bowling ally....
The kids, Krystal and Daniel had a ball as it was their first experience at bowling...
Frankly Krystal sucked at it but Daniel was quite impressive even managing to get a strike....
He is hooked now and wants to go again....
His birthday is this Friday so I might take him for a treat....

  1. Glad to hear you are getting over the flu Mandy, pity the return to normality involves catching up on housework though! Yeah, getting older sucks and I have no plans to do it gracefully! Birthday bowling sounds like fun.

  5. Well I hope you are feeling better now, wish I was my throat is so sore I couldn't even eat my porridge for breakfast.

    I love bowling have only been a couple of times but had such a great time and would love to be able to go more often. I am pretty good at it too, first time I went I bowled 3 strikes.
